I believe I was seeing ~ +5dB above my noise floor across what we believe to be the P4A transponder frequency. Dish needs a further re-alignment after the recent winds and other matters, and the LNB skew needs perfecting as well. Certainly something there though, and it was 250kHz wide

Confirming reception of transponder noise floor here in G-Land - A Nice thing to wake up to. Like yesterday, I see teh transponder ~5db above my noise floor, V pol, 1.1M dish, BW of 10MHz from the USRP N200, but as I said yesterday, there is some re-alignment of both LNB and dish (actually I'll move the LNB, it's easier [Aricebo Inspired!] - I have it on a multi LNB arm) required due to the winds and other matters.

Does bring to mind a few alternative sayings though "Rotate [LNB|Dish] for maximum smoke!"

Transponder noise also here this morning. No signals seen in the passband. At the moment this is a conventional pipe cap filter based downconverter with 10224 LO. Image filter is tuned to 10368. DU3BC preamp at the feed. Dish is 3m. I will put the proper downconverter on shortly.
